Species of this genus have the cymbium of male palp flattened and elongated, with a basal apophysis retrolaterally, pointing postero-ventrally; tegulum with a tongue-like process; filiform embolus; and epigyne with long copulatory ducts with several loops. Presently, most Epeus species are incompletely known.

Hill 2 1 email [email protected] 2 213 Wild Horse Creek Drive, Simpsonville, SC 29680-6513, USA, email [email protected] Abstract: A Cosmophasis female was observed feeding on the eggs of a nymphalid butterfly in Townsville, Queensland. Key words: Cosmophasis obscura, Cosmophasis thalassina, egg predation, jumping spider, Lepidoptera, Nymphalidae, Townsville Salticids exploit a variety of food sources in addition to their usual arthropod prey. Some feed on nectar (Nyffeler 2016; Nyffeler et al. 2016). Nectivory by the chrysilline Phintella vittata C. L. Koch 1846 has been described by Soren & Chowdhury (2011). Salticid spiders in turn may protect plants with extrafloral nectaries from their insect enemies (Ruhren & Handel 1999). Salticids are also known to feed on arthropod eggs or larvae (Jackson & Hallas 1986, Nyffeler et al. 1990). Grob (2015) documented feeding by the chrysilline Siler semilgaucus (Simon 1901a) on ant larvae taken directly from ant workers. Moffet (1991) photographed very small (~2 mm) Phyaces comosus Simon 1902 feeding on both eggs and young in a tended brood of the salticid spider Epeus Peckham & Peckham 1886. Many spiders including the salticid Hentzia palmarum (Hentz 1832) are known to feed on lepidopteran eggs (Pfannenstiel 2008) but photographic documentation of this behavior is lacking.

Wolff1 Biology Department Trinity Christian College 6601 West College Drive Palos Heights, IL 60463 USA The following is a list of the jumping spiders that have been reported from the Caribbean region. We have interpreted this in a broad sense, so that all islands from Trinidad to the Bahamas have been included. Furthermore, we have included Bermuda, even though it is well north of the Caribbean region proper, as a more logical extension of the island fauna rather than the continental North American fauna. This was mentioned by Banks (1902b) nearly a century ago. Country or region (e. g., pantropical) records are included for those species which have broader ranges than the Caribbean area. We have not specifically included the islands of the Florida Keys, even though these could legitimately be included in the Caribbean region, because the known fauna is mostly continental. However, when Florida is known as the only continental U.S.A.

  • Salticidae (Arachnida, Araneae) of Thailand: New Species and Records of Epeus Peckham & Peckham, 1886 and Ptocasius Simon, 1
    Salticidae (Arachnida, Araneae) of Thailand: new species and records of Epeus Peckham & Peckham, 1886 and Ptocasius Simon, 1885 Barbara Maria Patoleta1, Joanna Gardzińska2 and Marek Żabka1 1 Faculty of Exact and Natural Sciences, Siedlce University of Natural Sciences and Humanities, Siedlce, Poland 2 Warsaw College of Engineering and Health, Warsaw, Poland ABSTRACT The study is based on new material from the collections of the Naturalis Biodiversity Centre in Leiden (RNHM) and the Hungarian Natural History Museum (HNHM) and addresses issues in two genera: Epeus Peckham & Peckham, 1886 and Ptocasius Simon, 1885 from Thailand. Both genera are of Asian/Indomalayan origin, the latter with a diversity hotspot in the subtropical valleys of the Himalayas. Based on morphological data, we propose three new species of Epeus (Epeus daiqini sp. nov. (♂♀), Epeus pallidus sp. nov. (♀), Epeus szirakii sp. nov. (♀)) and two new species of Ptacasius (Ptocasius metzneri sp. nov. (♂♀) and Ptocasius sakaerat sp. nov. (♀)). Additionally, we redescribed E. tener (Simon, 1877) and added photographs of morphological characters. The genus Ptocasius is redefined due to the inclusion of 37 species, previously included in Yaginumaella Prószyński, 1979. Relationships and distribution of both genera are discussed in reference to molecular, morphological and distributional data, published by other authors in recent years. Subjects Biodiversity, Biogeography, Entomology, Taxonomy, Zoology Keywords Salticidae, Jumping spiders, Oriental region, Taxonomy, Distribution, Thailand, Epeus, Submitted 28 January 2020 Ptocasius Accepted 23 May 2020 Published 22 June 2020 INTRODUCTION Corresponding author Barbara Maria Patoleta, The list of jumping spiders from Thailand comprises 29 genera and 46 species (WSC, [email protected] 2020), seven genera and 13 species being poorly documented and in need of verification Academic editor (Żabka & Gardzińska, 2017).
